Where the Waterfalls Are
Craig sits in or near the Southeast Alaska and the Inside Passage area of Alaska. The Panhandle holds the largest share of Alaska's named falls. Temperate rainforest of spruce and hemlock covers steep slopes that drop directly to saltwater channels, and creeks fed by rain, snowfields and glaciers pour off them in long white ribbons. Juneau is the hub: Nugget Falls tumbles beside the Mendenhall Glacier at the end of a popular walk, while Ebner Falls sits above the Last Chance Basin just outside town, close to the city's old mining country. Skagway's Reid Falls is reached on a forest trail at the edge of town, and the Pitchfork Falls area above Goat Lake shows how far some of these streams drop. Many other falls here are seen only from boats and ferries. Read the Alaska waterfall guide.
